I never use the latin1/latin9 loales (nl_NL or address@hidden), so I had disabled them. Strange that I need them?
It's just due to the way I designed the locale support. I had in mind that I'd be editing a mixture of files in the old locale encoding and in the new (that's one reason). Another reason is that for the short term there's the character-class support in vile which is only for 8-bit encodings (partly for efficiency, partly to do things in phases).
Now I'm working to fill in this hole (so we don't _need_ the narrow locale to be installed). There's enough data in the wide-locale at runtime that I can initialize the tables, etc.
